A Feast Of Ice And Fire

Nash and I always talk about how incredible the food in the Game Of Thrones books sounds. Lemon cakes and honeyd pork, pork pies, summer wine, honey wine... every meal is described in great detail and it all sounds so delicious! You can't read without a snack bowl next to you. So imagine how badly I want this book.

A Feast Of Ice And Fire is a passion project written by two Game Of Thrones super-fans and amateur chefs Chelsea Monroe-Cassel and Sariann Lehrer—and endorsed by George R. R. Martin himself. Recipes from the sumptuous delicacies enjoyed in the halls of power at King’s Landing, to the warm and smoky comfort foods of the frozen North, to the rich, exotic fare of the mysterious lands east of Westeros.

The recipes are easy to follow and have been modernised, but depending how adventurous you are, you can attempt the authentic medieval recipes that originally inspired them. There are obviously also substitutes suggested in the book for things the camel and dove that you read about in GOT.

A Feast Of Ice And Fire is divided into regions, and contains over 100 recipes in total.

The Wall: Rack of Lamb and Herbs; Pork Pie; Mutton in Onion-Ale Broth; Mulled Wine; Pease Porridge
The North: Beef and Bacon Pie; Honeyed Chicken; Aurochs with Roasted Leeks; Baked Apples

I know, you can't wait to get this book now either, can you?

The book also details some tips on how to entertain in the style of the Seven Kingdoms plus excerpts from all the books and a series of full-colour photographs. It only goes on sale in May, so we'll all have to go on a diet  till then.
